Publication number: 20170322171Abstract: A gas-measuring chip (10), used with a gas-measuring device (100) of a portable chip measurement system, has a carrier (11) and measuring channels (20, 20?, 20?). A regenerable, nonconsumable sensor (30, 30?, 30?) is arranged in each measuring channel. A method includes inserting the gas-measuring chip (10) into the gas-measuring device (100) and connecting one measuring channel of the gas-measuring chip (10) to a pumping system (120, 121) of the gas-measuring device (100). A measurement is carried out with a first measuring channel (20, 20?, 20?) with a switching over to a measuring channel different from the first measuring channel. The sensors (30, 30?, 30?) of the measuring channel used last is regenerated and optionally simultaneously there is a measurement with the measuring channel switched over to. There is a switching over to a measuring channel, which is different from the measuring channel last used for the measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2015Publication date: November 9, 2017Inventors: Wolfgang BÄTHER, Stefan LEHMANN
